Mondo.com Releases New Human Centipede Art Poster

By Paige MacGregor

A new Human Centipede art poster created by the Silent Giants is available for purchase as of today via Mondo.com. The sale price is $30.00, and if you’re a fan of the Human Centipede in any form, than you’ll probably want to splurge and pick up a copy. Highly creepy and beautifully designed, the poster features Dieter Laser as Dr. Heiter, holding a paper doll of the human centipede itself.

Mondo.com carries unique T-shirts and posters for films like Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans and Street Trash, as well for other unusual artwork. You can browse their selection here or visit the company's blog here.

P.S. If you’re the creator of this art print or work for Mondo.com, feel free to send a few copies over to the Vault of Horror (*wink*).

Oh boy, well as you might be able to tell by today's post, I'm in a bit more of a frivolous mood at the moment with regards to The Human Centipede--sorry I haven't been able to provide my usual sage-like guidance with a timely review!

I would say that it's a tad overhyped, but I got a kick out of it. I mean, nothing too graphic is shown, so don't go in expecting to see ridiculously explicit shit. However, the concept is thoroughly nauseating, and the whole thing does get pretty intense. Dieter Laser is magnificent as the ridiculously histrionic mad German doctor.

It meanders a bit in the second half, hence I see why Stacie would say it gets boring. I happened to see it on-demand, so I don't know how I'd feel if I paid $10.50 to see it... Hmmm. In the end, I say go check it out, try to cast the hype out of your mind--and most importantly, don't come after me for your money back if you don't dig it! :-)

The moment for your wisdom has passed, B-Sol. I have purchased my $12.50 tickets to IFC Center for the 11:25pm showing this evening, and I will most likely be posting a full review on my site this weekend.

Stacie says I will be bored. Best Friend made me promise I would no longer force him to see movies he did not want to see. Ugh. I am taking a lot of risks with this movie.

However, I actually think I am going in with no real expectations. I have no fucking clue what to actually expect.

Ya know what, going in the way you are, I'm actually gonna go on a limb and say you will most likely get a sick little giggle out of it. I know I did. However, your friend may possibly never speak to you again. Or at least for a week or two.

Now you do realize that I don't equate "completely ridiculous" automatically with bad, yes? So I might agree that it is, and yet I definitely "enjoyed" it--"enjoy" being a bizarre term for such a flick... Oh well, hope the friend's ok!

Which horror film *should* be remade?

Welcome to the Vault....

I've been fascinated with horror ever since my parents let me watch The Exorcist at 8 years old (what were they thinking??) and I ran up to my bed screaming when Linda Blair's eyes rolled into the back of her head.Although it often gets a bad rap from "mainstream" critics and audiences alike, horror has often been the most creative and vibrant movie genre of all, from Nosferatu to Saw. Some of the finest motion pictures ever made are part of the horror genre, including Frankenstein, Psycho, The Shining and my personal all-time favorite, George Romero's Dawn of the Dead.This blog is the culmination of my 25-year love affair with all things blood and guts--so check back here often for news and opinion on the world of horror.
